I have installed Chromium-20-lucid as per instructions. The Launcher points to a shell script which exists and has the executable permission, which points to the program which has the executable permission. I have selected Chromium as the default browser.

Yet nothing happens when I click on the Browse launcher.

To try to see what is going wrong I tried right-clicking then choosing "Run_In_Terminal" and I get this error message:

Let us try new version Chromium 25 SFS and PET file which is available in forum. Download and install. You can also try Iron Browser.Last edited by rameshiyer on Mon 21 Jan 2013, 21:15; edited 1 time in total

I opened a terminal and typed that - but nothing happened. However I have found an application called WM Switcher which is available from JWM and XFCE and works in both directions.

I'm not sure which I prefer yet, but XFCE is nearer to my desktop with Ubuntu 12.10 plus Gnome-session-fallback so I will probably end up with that, but I want to give JWM a fair chance first.Last edited by ChrisOfBristol on Sun 18 Nov 2012, 18:39; edited 1 time in total

Unfortunately, Chromium and Chrome do not support most Athlon-XP processors or anything else under an i686.

I've just installed Google Chrome 14.0.835.186 and am using it now. Good news because it's faster than Firefox, runs videos out-of-the-box and is preferable all round IMHO.

This old laptop is an Asus Hi-Grade Notino A1300. On boot it says that it has an Intel Celeron 800MHz processor. I don't know whether that is an i686 or how the Chrome requirements below compare with an i686.

Chrome system requirements
Google Chrome is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. For optimal performance, we recommend the following system requirements:

Well, I think that Celeron is 3 era of Pentium 3, and will therefore work.
I'm not sure about Chrome, but the latest Chromium certainly works on a 1000Mhz Celeron from 2001. I guess the options some Chrome/Chromium packages are compiled with may mean that they wouldn't though..._________________DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS

Beware the demented serfers!

I had read somewhere that frugal install was better for some programs so I thought I had that prob cause chrome runs fine on full install of my 1100mhz machine but couldn't get it to run on a 700mhz athlon machine that has a frugal install, but I see from ur discussion that its that processor not being supported by chrome which makes sense so will try opera on athlon. oh and I love puppy I have wary on 3 old p-3 machines and the athlon and have racy on my 1100 daily machine. I almost have a friend convinced to put quirky on his p-4 machine
